You may need to set the television into 'tuner' mode (instead of Video-1, etc.) before performing the service mode button sequence.

If you're attempting to adjust color or geometry errors, you'll need the Video Essentials DVD, Laser Disc or some other source of test material.

I also maintain a SONY XBR Service Mode list on my HomePage.

For additional information on how to preform the 16x9 squeeze (to view anamorphic DVDs at their full resolution) see the "16x9 (Anamorphic) Vertical Squeeze" or the "Sony Wega 16x9 (Anamorphic) Vertical Squeeze" FAQs that I maintain on my web site.

A complete although somewhat outdated list of Sony XBR Service Mode items can be found at http://www.repairfaq.org/~filipg/. This information appears to be for the ~1990 version of the XBR^2 series.

Note: Provisions for convergence adjustments are not enabled on 27" or smaller Sony direct view television sets.
5.1a SUGGESTED SONY SETTINGS
SONY "XBR" SERIES

TRINITONE: NTSC STD - controls color temperature - basically how greys will appear on the monitor. The "High" and "Medium" settings make everything look too blue.

NR: OFF - filters out high-frequency noise, at a slight loss of detail. Turn it OFF and the picture quality improves. It also tends to degrade fine picture detail.

DYNAMIC PICTURE: OFF - when turned ON it whitens light areas and darkens shadow areas of the picture, creating a high contrast although less accurate picture. Leave it OFF.

COLOR CORRECTION: OFF - when turned ON it tries to correct fleshtones but has a tendency to mix up certain colors and make them look like a prosthetic beige.

PROGRAM PALETTE: MOVIE: ON - only the movie mode allows the television set to run with flat and wide video bandwidth. It also shuts OFF scanning velocity modulation (SVM), when VMLV is run down to zero it will shut OFF SVM for the other modes. Each mode (Movie, Sports, etc.) has a separate adjustment memory.
